1 Ukorintiyawa 1
1 Meng Bulus, uyiculun Kristi Yisa nso unan kadura bara uyinnu Kutellẹ, a Sostanisu gwana bit,
Paul, called to be an apostle of Christ Jesus by the will of God, and our brother Sosthenes,
2 udu kiti na nan tortu Kutellẹ na idi in Korintus, alenge na Kristi Yisa nati nani iso lan, iwa yiwa nani iso anit alau, vat nan na lenge na idin yicu lissan Cikilari bite Yisa Kristi in ko kame kiti, Cikilari mine nini unbit.
To the church of God in Corinth, to those sanctified in Christ Jesus and called to be holy, together with all those everywhere who call on the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, their Lord and ours:
3 Na ubolu me nin lissosin lisheu unuzu kitiin Kutellẹ ucif bit a Cikilari Yisa Kristi.
Grace and peace to you from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
4 Ndin godu Kutelle ning ko kome kubi bara anughe, nan nyan bolu Kutellẹ na Kristi Yisa nani minu.
I always thank my God for you because of the grace He has given you in Christ Jesus.
5 Ana tti minu anan se nan nya ko lome libau, nan nya nliru nin yiru vat.
For in Him you have been enriched in every way, in all speech and all knowledge,
6 Ana ti minu ita imon nacara, nafo na ubellee nimon liburu libo litin Kristi, na nuzu kanang nan nya mine.
because our testimony about Christ was confirmed in you.
7 Bara nani na idiira ufilllu nruhuba, naffo na ina yita nin tok ncaa nnuzu kanang in Cikilari bite Yisa Kristi.
Therefore you do not lack any spiritual gift as you eagerly await the revelation of our Lord Jesus Christ.
8 Ame ni minu akara tutung udi duri imaline, bara inan so sa alapi lirin Cikilari bite Yisa Kristi.
He will sustain you to the end, so that you will be blameless on the day of our Lord Jesus Christ.
9 Kutellẹ di nin yinnu, ame ulenge na ana yicila minu nan nya lissosin ligo nin saunne, Yisa Kristi Cikilari bite.
God, who has called you into fellowship with His Son Jesus Christ our Lord, is faithful.
10 Nene ndi munu kucukusu, nuana nilime nan nishono, nan nya lissan Cikilari bite Yisa Kristi, na vat mine na yinin, na i wa se uwucu nati nati nan nya mine ba. Ndi kucukusu imunu ati umalizinu kugir kun lo ligowe nin kibinai kirum a udalili urim.
I appeal to you, brothers, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that all of you agree together, so that there may be no divisions among you and that you may be united in mind and conviction.
11 Nani anan gan kuluwi na da tyi vet natuf nbeleng nworu uwutuzunu din piun nan nya mine.
My brothers, some from Chloe’s household have informed me that there are quarrels among you.
12 Nene uliru niighe ule: Ko gha mine din su, “Mengg un Bulus ari,” “Meng un Apolos” “Meng un Kefas,” sa, “Mengg un Kristi.”
What I mean is this: Individuals among you are saying, “I follow Paul,” “I follow Apollos,” “I follow Cephas,” or “I follow Christ.”
13 Kristẹ nkoso kidowa? iwa kotun Bulus ku kuca bara anughe? Iwa shintin munu nmyen nan nya lissan Bulussa?
Is Christ divided? Was Paul crucified for you? Were you baptized into the name of Paul?
14 Ndi nin liburi libo kiti Kutellẹ na nna shintin umon mine nmyen ba, se kiribun nin Gayus.
I thank God that I did not baptize any of you except Crispus and Gaius,
15 Una so nani bara na umong mine man woru miyari na shintin ghe nmyen nan nya lissa ning ba.
so no one can say that you were baptized into my name.
16 Ina kuru nshintino anan gan Istifanus ku. Nbanda nani, nan yiru sa nnakuru nshinto among tutung ba.
Yes, I also baptized the household of Stephanas; beyond that I do not remember if I baptized anyone else.
17 Bara ana Kristi na tuyi nshitu anitari nmyen ba nani nsu uwazi nliru ntucuari na nin nagbulan njinjin nnit ba, bara kuca nkootunu in Kristi wa so imon ihe.
For Christ did not send me to baptize, but to preach the gospel, not with words of wisdom, lest the cross of Christ be emptied of its power.
18 Bara kadura kuca nkotunuee tilalanghari kiti na lenge na i din nan nya nkul. Nani kitii na lenge na Kutellẹ din kacisso mine, likara Kutellẹ ari.
For the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God.
19 Bara ina nyertin, “Meng ma malu kiti nin dadiu na yinjini” mma canu uyinnu na nan yiru.
For it is written: “I will destroy the wisdom of the wise; the intelligence of the intelligent I will frustrate.”
20 Unit ujinjinghe din weri? Unan ni nyerte din we? Unan piziru in yinnu nko kuje din we? Na Kutellẹ na kpilya njinjin in yeh misoo tilalang ba? (aiōn g165)
Where is the wise man? Where is the scribe? Where is the philosopher of this age? Has not God made foolish the wisdom of the world? (aiōn g165)
21 Bara na uyih vat nin jinjing nnin na una yinnin Kutellẹ ba, una poah Kutellẹ liburi nan nya tilalan nbellu nliru Kutelle kiti na lenge na iyinna.
For since in the wisdom of God the world through its wisdom did not know Him, God was pleased through the foolishness of what was preached to save those who believe.
22 A Yahudawa wa piziru imon al'ajibi a Hilinawa pizira njinjing.
Jews demand signs and Greeks search for wisdom,
23 Nani arik din uwazi nkotunu in Kristi, litala ntizuru na Yahudawa a tilalang kiti na Hilinawa.
but we preach Christ crucified, a stumbling block to Jews and foolishness to Gentiles,
24 Kiti na lenge na Kutellẹ na yicila, a Yahudawa nin na Hilinawa, ti din su uwazi in Kristi nafo Likara nin kujinjin Kutellẹ.
but to those who are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God and the wisdom of God.
25 Bara tilalang Kutellẹ katin likara njinjing nanit, a usali likara Kutellẹ katina akara nanit.
For the foolishness of God is wiser than man’s wisdom, and the weakness of God is stronger than man’s strength.
26 Yenen imusun in yicilue na Kutellẹ na yicila munu mun, nuana nilime nin nishono. Na gbardan mine wa di jinjing ba nan nya yenjun nanit. Na gbardang mine wadi nin gongong mbun nanit ba.
Brothers, consider the time of your calling: Not many of you were wise by human standards; not many were powerful; not many were of noble birth.
27 Nani Kutellẹ wa fere imon ilalang in yih ani unit ujinjing ncin. Kutellẹ waa fere imon nsali nakara in yih ani imon nakara in yih ncin mun.
But God chose the foolish things of the world to shame the wise; God chose the weak things of the world to shame the strong.
28 Kutellẹ wa fere imon igugur na ina filing in yih umunu imon ile na tiyira inin nafo imon ile na arik in yira imon icinari.
He chose the lowly and despised things of the world, and the things that are not, to nullify the things that are,
29 Ana su nani bara ummong wa se imon for figiri mbun me.
so that no one may boast in His presence.
30 Bara imon ile na Kutellẹ na su, nene i di nan nyan Kristi Yisa, Ulenge na ana so nari njinjing kiti Kutellẹ katwa kacine bite, nlau bite nin utucu bite.
It is because of Him that you are in Christ Jesus, who has become for us wisdom from God: our righteousness, holiness, and redemption.
31 Nafo, na i nyerte nabelin, “Na ulenge na ana fo figiri na a fo nan nyan Cikilari.”
Therefore, as it is written: “Let him who boasts boast in the Lord.”
